The lack of LAMB2 mutations in our FSGS cohort, in patients from the UK Renal Registry [3] and in Saudi Arabian SRNS children [10] fully justifies removal of laminin-[beta]2 genetic analysis from the algorithm introduced by Santin et al.

In conclusion, our results indicate possible clustering of causative NPHS2 mutations in FSGS-proven SRNS with onset in the first year of life, and provide additional evidence that children with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome due to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, in whom NS occurs before the age of 13 years, should first undergo analysis of the NPHS2 coding sequence and the WT1 gene, especially focused on exons 8 and 9 and the surrounding exon/intron boundary DNA sequences, followed by, in cases with WT1 KTS intronic splice site variants, genotyping for gender.

Garry's previous experience within Fluor was instrumental in marshalling the appropriate corporate resources and providing the right mix of project and strategic direction needed as the SRNS mission and workforce nearly doubled under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding.

Under Flowers' tenure at SRNS, the Fluor, Newport News and Honeywell team has achieved many notable milestones which include: executing ARRA-funded Cold War-era cleanup; improving operations at the Savannah River National Laboratory (SNRL); forging a relationship between SRS, SRNL and the business and engineering schools of the University of South Carolina; and accelerating the disposal schedule and disposition of transuranic nuclear wastes stored at the Site.

Faced with the growing challenge of addressing legacy infrastructure issues and process equipment deterioration, SRNS employees worked together to find the solution of relocating the station to the former K Area structure.

This innovative solution to the H Area Operations Station increased system and equipment reliability, operator response time, and helped make the H Area Operations Station facility a better place to work, SRNS Site Services Director Geoff Reynolds said.

Flowers, group executive for Fluor's Construction Services, Health, Safety & Environmental (HSE) and Corporate Security, as well as a member of the company's senior management team, will become the president and CEO of SRNS.
